CHICAGO. Nov. 1L-Fielden and Schwab,
the two anarchists whose sentences were
commuted by Gov. Oglesby to life imprison-
ment, were not taken down to the peniten-
tiary at Joliet to-day as expected, though
the necessary nlittsnius have arrived from
Springfield. The sheriff had no men to spare
to-day to go with them, and it was thought
inadvisable to take them on the noon train,
as SO doing might have resulted In the
gathering Of dangerous crowds on the
streets, and perhaps violence. The sheriff
sGates, however, that the two men will be
taken down to the penitentiary on the train

An aptitude for criticism is shown among
people who bite their nails, These people are
cynical and severe, uncharitable and bitter
they write n small, cramped, illegible hand

they could write with them. The tenacity of
the Chinese nail, which does not easily break,
would Indicate that they have more lime in
their bones than we have.
The English nails are almost universally
rosy and shell like, and, cut to rounded,
slightly taperng point, kept always scrupu-
lousy clean. The skin at the base is pushed
back to show the onyx, little white half

The onyx of the finger nails is carefully
cultivated and polished by the Creoles of New
Orleans to show that they have no black
blood in their veins. No matter how fair the
complexion, the valuable sign of pure blood
is wanting to the octoroon if the ONYX is

Crady.s Speech.
HICKORY GROVE, Prince William Co,
January 2ud, 1887.

JuDudTy Auui 1901.
To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette
The newspapers report speech, before
the New England society, by Mr.. Henry
Woodfn Grady, the editor of the Atlanta
Constitution which speech, it seems, has
created a great sensation, especially in
Georgia, where Mr.. Grady was welcomed
on his return home with yankee Doodle"
brass bands, worshiping crowds, and a nom
ination for the Vice Presidency. The lead
ing aud most striking idea contained in
Mr.. Grady's speech, is its fulsome laudailon
of Abraham Lincoln. He is styled 1.-The first
typical American, the first who compre-
bended within himself, all the strength and
eentleness-all the majesty aud grace OF
this republic" "Ye Gods aud little fishes"
how men differ! Edwin N. Stanton, who
was better acquainted with Lincoln than
Mr.. Grady can possibly be, pronounced him
"the original Gorilla" opine the truth is
somewhere between these two extreme
views, but we naturally have more CONT
dence in the opinion of the man to whom
he was best known. Such speech will do
we'll enough for professional demagogue,
one who is disposed to carry out Mr.. Gle.
velands idea of "placating the north"
Such man may "crooS the pregnant hinges
of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning,"
but it is incredible that such sentiments can
meet with any response in the hearts OF the
rank and file Of the southern people. AL
though we are subiugated, reconstructed,
"trooly loil" &c, can we ever entirely forget!
Mr.. Lincoln may have been very great
and good man of his kind, but can NE ever
love ard revere that kind? We accepted
him as we had TO accept the results OF the
late unpleasantness. We all had to eat
crow. but can it be, that we all banker after
it? AS we look at the matter, 1t Is lmpos-
sible to absove Lincoln from the crime of
violating a1d overthrowing the consiltn-
ton be had sworn to support and preserve.
We must hold him responsible for the Gu
plicity and trickery of Seward, and the bru-
tality and cruelty of Stanton. Politicians
NAV sentmentalize and pirate about closing
bloody chasms. glorious unions, broIherly
love. &C., but facts are stubborn things
and will not down. We submitted and can
be silent, but when southern men utter
such trash as we read in MIR. .Grady's B0s'
